Tillie Jean Barnes' Obituary
Tillie Jean Barnes, age 53, passed away peacefully in her home on November 29, 2019. She was born on March 17, 1966 in Ogden, Utah to Barbara Jean Smith and Jerry Barnes. Our beloved Mother and Grandma loved her family very much. In her spare time she loved to read books, especially horror books by the author Stephen King. She loved Scooby-Doo, and she collected Coca-Cola items all her life. Her nails were long and she always took pride in them. Her favorite color was green, which was perfect due to her birthday falling on St. Patrick’s Day. She loved to go camping and enjoyed fishing. She was also a great catch! Her life forever changed when she gave birth to her son in 1984, shortly after she had her daughter in 1987 and after that she was complete. She would playfully give those she cared for a hard time, just to put a smile on their face. We hope in these sad and lonesome times she is happy and relieved of her health problems she endured here during her time with us
Tillie is survived by her two kids- Joseph (Crystal) Barnes, Natasha (Sam) Barnes- DeMille; grandkids- Allexia, Kc, Tristan, and Mason; Father- Jerry (Beverly) Barnes; Brothers- David, Charles, Brad, and Scotty (Jon) Barnes; Sisters- Nancy (Norris) Barnes- Proctor, Lisa (Jody) Barnes- Petersen, Kelly Sweat, Betty (Preston) Barnes- Geurts.
She is preceded in death by her mother Barbara, and her two sisters Becky and Barbara. We plan to hold a Celebration of Life for her in April of 2020. Everyone is welcome to attend. Formal invitations will be sent out at a further date. If you have any questions you can text or call Natasha Barnes (DeMille) I will send updates with further information at a later time.
